  1. GN7 On the Dyno
    I have always gone with the old rule of .004 per inch of bore which would put me at a gap of .0018. This mild N/A mild engine. Any thoughts?

    I'm putting together a Gen 5 454 Chevy. Last spring I picked up this boat that was stored in a warehouse and the building caught fire. Only reason I jumped on it was because the engine and pump only had 40hrs on them. Sold the pump so the endeavor pretty much paid for itself. I was going to...

    Anyone here play with spark gap while dyno testing? I'm in the market for a new distributer for my mild carbed Vortec SBC. I see some claims from companies such as DUI and ChevPro Marine that their HEI set-ups with 50,000 volts will increase horsepower on the order of 15+ because it allows for...

    I know a guy with a BBC 396 with a Vortex mag and am curious as to what the plug gap should be set at. Right now its at 18 (at the recommendation of a friend). What do you guys say? Fuel is usually around 100 octane and the boat has a 150 shot of nitrous.

    Why does Timinator reccomend top gap at 0.022 and second ring at 0.018" when everyone else reccomends larger gap on second ring than the top ring. Is this a typo or is there a reason?
  18. GN7 On the Dyno
    I figure this ought to be fun. What is the proper way to gap spark plugs? Do you use the screwdriver and hammer on the fender method? Feeler gauges, or the round wire gauges? Or the single round disc piece of crap. Does it really matter? (to mag guys if course it does cause they hardly spark)...
